Utahns becoming more skeptical about the war in Iraq

The Salt Lake Tribune has conducted a poll, the results of indicate that Utahns are “increasingly skeptical about U.S. odds of success in Iraq”

I hope this means that folks are finally waking up.

  1. Twere the bombing and mayhem occurring in Utah rather than Iraq, the gentle people of Utah would be even more “skeptical about US odds of success”.


  2. The bottom line: 91.7% of Iraqis oppose the presence of coalition troops in the country, up from 74.4% in 2004. 84.5% are “strongly opposed”. Among Sunnis, opposition to the US presence went from 94.5%to 97.9% (97.2% “strongly opposed”). Among Shia, opposition to the US presence went from 81.2% to 94.6%, with “strongly opposed” going from63.5% to 89.7%. Even among the Kurds, opposition went from 19.6% to63.3%. In other words, it isn’t just that Iraqis oppose the American presence – it’s that their feelings are intense: only 7.2% “somewhat oppose” and 4.7% “somewhat support.”

  3. Thank you for providing this. People need to see more of these things every time someone comes out and states that the Iraqi people want us there.
